WOMEN SEEK PLACE
ON STUDENT BODY
Equal Suffrage on Executive
Committee of University De*
nianded in Editorial
BERKELEY. Feb. 22.— A plea for the
election of a woman student as a mem
ber of the executive committee that
controls all student activities was made
editorially today in the woman's day
number of the Daily Californian, the
student paper, by Miss Marguerite. Og
den, editor in chief. She calls attention
to the article on '"Readjustment", by
Miss Mary Ada Pence- which appeared
in the woman's number of the Occident
monthly magazine, and declares that
woman will in time be granted equal
suffrage in student affairs.
Miss Ogden. who is the daughter of
Judge Frank B. Ogden of the Oakland
superior court, answers the arguments
made by the meu, that the women can
not know the qualifications of the cau
didaies.Jor office and therefore should
not be allowed to vote by declaring
that under the readjustment of things
all voters should know the seeker for
office.
She further warns the me>n against
'"the pretty face or charm of manner"
of the woman aspirant for membership
on the executive committee, and tells
them to regard only the real ability
and true womanliness of the candidate.
In the Occident article Miss Pence
declared that not only should the pres
ident of the women students be a mem
ber of the governing body, which is
now confined to the men students, but
the presidents of the Sports and Pas
times club, the women's athletic man
ager, should also be a member of the
central body.
Woman's day at the university was
marrt-d by the rain, and the boat races
of the classes, the fencing bouts, bba r
ket ball games and tennis matches
were continued ' until Saturday, when
they will be held if the weather per
mits.
The main events of the day in addi
tion to the publication of the Daily
Californian, Ottixlent and Pelican by
the women were the attractions at
Pelly's playground in Hearst hall to
night. The hall was fitted up with
booths, sideshows and midway features,
and the women had an enjoyable time
at the function, which was limited to
them.^

NEW CUR FEW LAW
AFFECTS PARENTS
Ordinance Under Consideration
by Berkeley Council . Pro=
vides for Penalty
\u25a0 - -
BERKELEY, Feb. 22. — If the new
ordinance which the members of the
city council are considering is adopted
parents will be liable for the disobey
ance of the curfew law by their chil
dren and will be arrested if their
children are found in the streets after
specified hours.
The cit£ council agreed that the
children were not so much responsible
as the parents for wandering about the
streets,* and will frame a clause mak
ing the parents subject to arrest and
punishment.
The curfew law, which will replace
that now in operation, will keep all
children under the age of 16 years off
the streets after 9:30 o'clock at night
unless accompanied by their parents
or guardians.' The penalty probably
will be a light fine.
The \u25a0'council is also framing ordi
nances regulating- the nickelodeons
and poolrooms. It' Is likely that the
San Francisco ordinance in regard to
nickelodeons will be adopted to pre
vent the display of certain kinds of
pictures, while the.' poolroom ordinance
will prohibit, the attendance of boys
under the age of 16 years in halls where
pool and billiards are played.

FOR EQUAL RIGHTS
Ebell's Colonial Day Celebration
> Brings Forth Plea for
" the Suffrage
, OAKLAND, Feb. 22. — "The United j
has been false to the declara
tion of independence and is suffering
today because v it has denied to one
half the citizens the right to partici
pate in. the affairs of government. Not
until it has fulfilled the principles^ of
the declaration and called woman ! to
a full participation and responsibility
in the state will it make good the ar
ticles of Independence." So spoke Rev.
William Day Simonds this afternoon in
his address before the women of Ebel!
club. : i
"Rev. Mr. Simonds announced as, his
subject the "American Declaration of'
.Independence." He laid particular
emphasis on the r four great principles
of the famous instrument "that all
men were created free and • equal in
the legal system of equality and oppor
tunity as opposed -to" the class sys
tem of Europe; that all men have the <
right to enjoy life, liberty and'the'full
pursuit of happiness: that the nation
possesses the right of revolution and
progress; that the consent of the gov
erned constitutes the sole right of gov
ernment."
It was upon this last statement that
he voiced his sentiments in favor igf
the ballot in the 'hands of women and
won, an. applause from the women
present.
"Colonial Day" in the woman's or
ganization has become an annual cus
tom, the entire receiving line wearing

START MOVEMENT
TO CONSOLIDATE
Berkeley and Piedmont Citizens
Are Busy With Petitions '
. Among Voters
OAKLAND, Feb. 22.— Petitions for
the holding of elections to annex Pied
mont- and Berkeley to Oakland were
put in circulation today in: Oakland.
This marks the formal-beginning, of
the .movement .to" create a v clty and
county'of Oakland, with a territory in
cluding all the thickly settled part of
the east shore of the bay, and a popu
.lation that is estimated .to be 400,000.
Three other communities will be
asked to .join In, the- movement— Ala-,
meda, Emeryville and Albany, the lat
ter, being the lately incorporated town
east. and south' of Berkeley. 'It is the
intention of the backers of the move
ment for consolidation, however, to act
without these communities 'if they are
unwilling to take part.
The law requires that 20 per cent
of the qqalifled. 'electors .at the last
general election shall sign the petitions
for annexation.and consolidation elec
tions. In Oakland the petitions' were
placed in the care of committees of the
-chamber of commerce and the • Mer
chants' exchange, and at the rate they
were signed today the backers of the
project declare that the 4,000 . names
will be secured In a few daye. In
Berkeley 1.200 names are needed. Pre,
liminary petitions show an aggregate
of-'K447 names, so that success is pre
dicted''there. In Piedmont only 48
names are needed, while more than 100
have already been secured./
City Attorney Stetson has been in
frequent consultation , recently with
representatives of Los Angeles, who are
desirous of doing the same thing in
their county that Oakland is trying to
do now. The law says that the bound
ary of the newly made county must be
at least, five miles away from the new
county seat. This has caused some dif
ficulty in Oakland as well as in Los
Angeles. The latest plan in Alameda
county is to have the seat of the out
side part of the ; present county, when
it is segregated, in Niles.
Consolidation Club. Formed
BERKELEY. Feb. 22.— The" Central
